searching 4 my direction in life..

i know my blog is dead

2008-04-26T17:29:00.002+08:00

yes yes, i know my blog is like sooo dead nobodi reads it. :P
well.. im the kind that can work 24/7 on something im interested in, and then drop it all the moment i lose interest.

well there are a few reasons i dun blog often
1 internet connection sux so bad i cant get on msn for 30 minutes.
2 i dont want to blog about everything i do
3 no interest :p
4 rather go lepak somewhere
5 got burnt n bitten once cuz i blogged

well this previous semester (jan 08)
i slept early - like 1-2am, compared to prev sem where i slept @ 4am almost everyday

i studied for the longest period in my life, no joke. 2 solid weeks of studying law. thats what law does to u :|

i got to know some guys from the cf more - jon, vincent, jared, alex, n fred
the funni thing is that all of them stay on the same floor.. so when its dinner time, i walk down to the 1st floor, then go to alvins room.
when the ibans are good to go, we walk 3 rooms down n bang up ivan
then go 2 rooms down, ask jared to join us, most of da time he doesnt tho
another 2 rooms down the hall, jons room.
go 6 rooms down, alex's room.
so thats how we call ppl for supper.

alvin and i downloaded 30+ christian albums.
thats more than 1song/day
which brings me to...
why do christians, especially those around me, only listen listen to hillsongs and planetshakers?
sure, they are good n solid n stuff. n their music can be sung in church. yet there are so many other good christian artistes, whose songs can be sung in church, IMO
well there was chris tomlin, whom i listened to around 2004.
4 years down the road, how great is our god has become the new theme song for some churches, chris tomlin now joins the list that includes hillsongs and planetshakers.
however i have seen certain songs of other artistes that are sung in church.
e.g
jared anderson - rescue, amazed
jeremy camp - beautiful one
casting crowns - who am i
delirious - majesty, did you feel the mountains tremble, history maker

dont get me wrong, im not saying hills or shakes are wrong, or that any 'christian' artiste should be sung in church (think switchfoot? lol)
i juz wish to see youths listen to more christian music, rather than to secular music.
when i moved into sg, i see that the sg youths are more exposed compared to malaysia
i know, and im not boasting, that there are christian artistes that are comparable to secular music. sure, not everyone would appreciate n enjoy the music i like, but christian music is just so wide rather than just the few we normally hear.

thank god Passion is coming to malaysia on august 3rd (so i heard)
all u guys who see this should make it a point to come. its a christian conference that reaches out to uni students in USA. this year they're having a world tour and thank god KL is in their list. hopefully the youths that go there will be exposed to unfamiliar songs.

Q: why dont u check out some other christian music? they're good u know..
A: i do, i listen to Chris Tomlin..
Thinks: the afters, david crowder, matt redman (o the wonderful cross - 2 thumbs up), starfield (my current fav)

i can already smell the flak coming in after this posting.. i juz hope people wont misconstrue this post. I JUZ HOPE U GUYS WILL LISTEN TO MORE CHRISTIAN MUSIC

dead blog.. arise

2007-12-02T00:51:00.000+08:00

yea yea i know its been a long time..

hmmm
3months since last post..
had a slightly stressful coll term.. cuz we had exams
but then again that exam just contributes 10% to my finals..

hav been playing cs alot over the LAN in hostel.. n i mean a lot!
like 3 hours a day (no joke)

n i discovered *ahem the wonders of rapidshare.com n megaupload.com
:D

been downloading a lot of stuff from these sites...

a bit saddend.. cuz a few of my good frens are leaving inti.. lynne, japheth, n hinloong n johnny who hav left...
life moves on....

dis coming semester, quite a few are leaving too.. sigh.. life.. what a ABCDEFG

but theres stuff to cheer..
got to know an iban called alvin..
didnt actually know him beforehand cuz he's quite in public..
found out a lot about him, got to know him n kelvin better this semester.. considering our term in inti will be about the same (ekdrick not 4gotten too)
i find a whole lot of similiarity between us..
we can discuss lots of stuff, christian stuff together... lookin forward to growing spiritually with these kind of frens :D:D

discovered a few great christian artistes (apart from dc*b)
rush of fools
brian littrell
starfield
leeland

yea yea.. some have been around for sometime.. but its all new to me..

oh.. since the exam had so little weight, n i heard dat most ppl flunk it (its our first real test in law) i took my foot off the gas... so i gotta work hard dis semester (yea rite!)
the only way thats gonna happen is when god intervenes.. nid ur help god!

lots of stuff are actually spining in my head now..
the 3 projects were supposed to do during the HOLIDAYS..
my future: what do i do after i study? continue 4 a higher grade? work in uk? malaysia? singapore?
my destiny - why am i here on earth? to enjoy life?

one particular incident is quite permanently etched in my brain
i went to yrc, i met charlie, a sri lankan..
he asked me dis question.. if im in england, n im gonna sit 4 the final paper.. n god juz slams da brakes n says eric, come serve me.. wat would i do?

im not mulling on what my answer will be.. it has always been send me, i will go!
but my question is deeper.. i may be studyin law.. but would i end up practicing law?
would i end up a lawyer? or something more? or something less in the eyes of the world, like a pastor who gave up law a day b4 his finals?

life is unpredictable.. dats de scary part..

niways.. since de hols, been juz bumming around.. staring @ my comp..
thx god that he has helped me overcome certain weaknesses in my life :D
its amazing how god can work anywhere..
some ppl expect a huge transformation to happen in big events, like a church camp, or when a special speaker is in town, or when u get prayed for..

n yet, heres the story.. i went to a youth outreach, where the youth are supposed to invite friends.. i was thinkin well i x knw anybody in sg.. but my old fren, yunsheng calls me a week b4 the meeting n says he wants to follow me to church.. n actually there are a couple of guys i do know in my condo dat i could hav invited to the outreach..
yet i didnt take the initiative to invite.. no biggie, aint the 1st time ive been ashamed..

yet as i went to the outreach, i saw ppl like veronica n jocelyn bring in 4 frens each..
others didnt bring as many as 4 ppl per youth or smthn like that..
im not judging anybody.. but it struck me that these 2, that are relatively new in god, juz brought people in while i, an old believer, didnt even bother n juz gave an excuse that i dont know anybody..

n as i got back to my room, i was smsin veronica about the 4 guys that she invited (respect!)

n she jus says.. we hav god to talk to when we are in trouble. yet those that dunno jesus hav nobodi except friends to talk to..

it just hit me.. a simple faith is just enough.. n it made me wonder, when was the last time i thanked god? the last time i sat down n communed with him (fyi, i havent in a long time)
sometimes i was just scared to approach god as i was sinning (go figure)..
n yet that nite as i prayed to god, i realised he just took away my sinful desires.. now its exactly 1 week.. n still going strong.. i used to ask sebastian how god helped him (another long story) n he said god just took the desires or thoughts away from him.. now i have experienced it myself.. :D

n throughout this week as i communicated with god more, i just started to giv thanks to him naturally.. i noticed it in a small incident where i just uttered thank god.. i didnt even plan to like give thanks in everything, n yet it came so naturally..

god is faithful.. ive been in the wilderness for so long, n yet in 1 day he has drawn me back to him.. :D

i hope this encourages those christians that are worn out by time, sin, or whateverelse.. that our only hope is still god..

a song that relates to this..
rush of fools - undo

alvin with the bwin shirt, ivan n me..

post church camp

2007-08-25T02:11:00.000+08:00

argh.. so tired after church camp
yet camp was good...
had more fellowship but worked more...
went to jb from sg last saturrday..
den crashed @ Youth Recreational Center (yrc) with sebas, jason, thomas, chien chi, charlie...
played ping pong n foosball throughout da nite b4 slpin..
den had a 4 hr road trip 2 da camp site....

fyi, we were meant to go earlier to set up the speakers etc.

when we reach there, we find that some government agency is using the hall and wont surrender it till next day when the campers REACH!! @ least we got rooms..
so we went swimming..

1st nite (b4 official start of camp)
met up with joanne n joshua who came earlier..
also played pool cuz it was raining the whole nite..
couldnt do much work.. could only move all da stuff into the store n lay the cables n juz rush everything the next day..

n the F&B manager told us dat it rained everyday so they were scared cuz the organizers wanted some outdoor tables.. so ps rajen matt juz said we'll pray that there'll be no rain.. n there was no rain.. praise the lord..

then the next day we played beach soccer.beach rugby, water polo, n beach soccer again..
i have a bruised toe, aching muscles and a fingermark-bruise on my arm...

woke up late 4 devotion both days.. 1st was athens didnt wake me up n 2nd was athens alarm didnt work.. lol.. n jason came to knock me up in my room cuz the projector wasnt working.. @ 650 in da morn.. Zzz...

n i got to know charlie. a guy from sri lanka, doin atcem.. n he actually went to edge when i was in malaysia...
hes a great guy.. n juz loves to take pix n vids..
pix of other camp days..
there are more pix.. pray that ill get some..

sadly less youths came dis time cuz spm trials are next week.. yet i still had a lot of fellowship (the most in a family camp 4 me).. maybe cuz there are less people so we get to be closer..
pam seaward was awesome.. yet jason n athens n occassionally ps rajen n ps boey slept.. haha..
but i didnt slp in during any sermon.. :)

packin n unpackin the equipment was juz tiringly crazy.. yet it was fun.. got to learn a lot on how to set up the audio etc.. actually i always wanted to go to camps earlier to help out but there was always too many ppl..

now im back in singapore, i want a new fone!! my dad has verbally agreed.. i think i can get it b4 i leave 4 nilai again...
hopefully u guys will be seeing me holding this fone soon... the best part is my roommate wants the exact same model n colored fone... hope i beat him to it.. :P

better slp now..

~smile~

oh..n athen sang gay song in de hotel lounge.. westlife song.. omg!!!!! it was like clarence walked into the lounge while athens was singing n clarence was "y is he singing a gay song"
n im a pornstar..

n i found out theres a church camp during my hols! 21st-23rd aug.. yay..
signed up edi.. kind of unexpected cuz church camps are normally around june..

n juz watched rush hour 3 wit sheena fabian n hei wai..

Song of the month:
this beautiful republic (artiste)
new year (title)
even heroes need a a parachute (album)

Love, should it be so tragic?
Should it be dramatic?
Should it take such a toll on you?

Trust, why is our trust faded?
Jesus says to trade them
Trade our scars for His promises

Chorus:
So give Him all your love this time
And give Him everything you are this time
You've never been so lucky
To have a friend like Jesus

Wait, how long will you wait here?
Your life longs for a new year
Your healing must begin somewhere

Everything you could ever want
Is right before you
He is close to your broken heart
You're right where you should be

realli great song.. check it out in imeem

n im goin for a whatever event on 25th.. it is somehow linked to politics (not directly)
n the youth in singapore are having this 'adult youth' banquet thing on 31st august.. i guess ill be goin.. so my weeks are quite packed..

now why did i bring my notes again??

oh yeah.. to file.. :D

n the abcdefg aircon is not working.. n its not the one in my room dats out of order.. yet im slpin wit de stars n a very noisy fan tonite..

argh..

~smile~

oh! n i 4got.. it took me like forever to get m laptop linked to my wireless router..
to dilute the problem, i was supposed to find the geek-name of my laptop so i can tell the router to allow that geek-name..
i searched high n low 4 those numbers.. in the end all i had to do was to mouse over dis thing n the numbers will show.. argh.. thank god its over

n today i went to take de bus.. less than 1 min later it came.. the longest i had to wait 4 this route was half an hour.. thank god.. *random*

stooopid wkend!

2007-08-04T23:29:00.000+08:00

argh..
theres this youth concert in my old church in jb on sat (maybe its ended by now)..
i realli wanted to go n meet my old frens..

the plan:-
i)go back jb on fri afternoon, sebas would pick me from larkin, then bum @ his place
ii) sat mornin, meet up wit old school mates (gokhau howyee n co)
iii) sat evening go concert, surprise as many ppl as possible
iv) sun take bus back after service

perfect.. no?
then my parents call on toosday.. they say the're gonna come to nilai to find me dis weekend..
so i tell them i wanna go back jb..
then they got realli pissed becuz i didnt plan to go sg.. (look @ da plan, how am i supposed to go to sg???)
i mean what time would be better to visit my jb frens all in one day? if i want to do so i gotta come over from sg some other time...
then they go on with the friends or family choice etc..

so i decided..
i would have gone back to jb if dis happened in da past..
now i dun want to get into extra trouble.. so i just scrapped the whole plan n stayed in nilai..

then de fam call me on fri, saying their bringing me up to kl..
what??!!
going up with them would only make it more boring n make me regret..
so i guess they gave n take so they didnt push it further..
then saturday they dont come..
then they wanna come on sunday lunchtime..
that time church just starts..
so they decide not to come to nilai tto visit me after all (without conflict of any sort)

now, my parents arent visiting me.. but why am i still in nilai when i could have been with all my old friends???????

argh..
instead of all da fellowship, i spent da day slpin in hostel, n starin @ my lappy (movies)
all my pals are in kl or are studying for exams...

dis weekend totally sux..

2007-07-30T11:42:00.000+08:00

4 guys in a car to malacca, in pursuit of food n fun
too bad yun jin din join us..

so we went to eat seafood, brought back an empty king crab shell 4 yun jin since he didnt come..
n on the way back, jerry n ben were tired so they asked soo to drive.. when soo heng took to the wheel, eerybody was just awake.. the guys couldnt sleep n it was quite tense in the car.. i guess soo heng juz has dat aura around him..

n i lost my shoes..
yup.. i lost my shoes..
i put my shoes (pirated dc's) outside, next morning, they dissapear.. at least the thief was decent enough to leave my socks on the floor..

2007-05-25T00:11:00.001+08:00

2day is a day of rejoicing..
mr arroooooooo cancelled his class (original name arumugam) - he teaches criminal law..
n his favourite phrase is "u can go to hell"..
aniways.. i can play fifa 07 n nba live 07.. yippie.. vista aint that bad.. u just have to be able to keep up with it n satisfy its cravings..

n we started a full fledged cult.. haha.. it was created by jerry, who used a shirt worn by yun jin which says 'god of sex'..
haha.. u can do the math from here..

i got da nba file from de guys oppo me.. i neva talked to them b4 but got the file straightaway a ns had a laugh with them..

surprisingly, homework aint piling up but were getting a lot of responsibility..
theres this law awareness week where we have to set up an exhibition.. im kinda surprised we, as 1st sem-ers, get the chance to do most of da work.. thats cuz the exams are in sem 2 n sem 1 has no exams! wooots!
n theres this taylors law debate coming up.. been sumtime since i debated.. meetings tomorrow.. sigh..

hopefully can watch pirates of da carribean on saturday..

my waking hours has been promoted from 12am-2am++ since i got my darling.. :)

n i get my daily fix of dc*b! yay..

and.. i actually wanted to type this in one post last month about the comparison between mas n sg... but now dat it has been confirmed, here goes:

but 1st. pls dun get offended...

when i got to sg.. i didnt know how to go here n there.. sgreans are very helpful.. esp when ur a tourist.. malaysia on the other hand is notorious 4 not being that helpful..

BUT, in campus life, where we have to make frens to survive (n kill time)
i find that malaysians are MORE friendly than sgreans.. like that day i got to know dis guy called biren, a nepali, hu has great corn rows... what im trying to say is that when u wanna go deeper into a friendly relationship, malaysians score better.. its not that my friends in sg are not friendly, its juz, to borrow from senor rafa, beaten by a better team..

aniway.. nba live07 beckons!
~smile~

oh! n we had street party this wed.. it was half pasar malam, half party.. cuz they had speekers n a stage@ 1 end n the other stretch was full of booths..
i concluded that it wasnt that exciting.. n poor jerry was sick cuz he ate too much kambing(mutton)
try eating 3 meals of nasi kambing a day 4 3 days.. n eat horny goat supplements.. haha...

about da party.. they had this dance section where africans danced freestyle n rapped etc..
jas's friend moe.. was up 1st.. on the freestyle category.. he danced realli well..
later i found out he was asked to dance @ 630pm, 1 hr b4 the party.. n he didnt know the song till he got on stage.. lol.. n hes 18 this year.. n he juz got a b+ 4 physics(hes taking some engineering course)
wow.. total respect..

n there was the ugly.. watching people who seemed( according to the expert prediction from me, soo heng n ben) 2 dance 4 the 1st time.. there were those that were hilarious.. no details.. it is disturbing.. anyway.. i saw half the college get high..
if only ppl would sing like dat in a christian concert in inti.. or to rephrase, if only we could have a mega christian concert, open air! wow.. with full attendance n everybody praising god..

wow.. awesome.. wonderful.. magnificent!

ben n jerry

small world..

2007-05-11T16:46:00.000+08:00

ok.. scenario 1
my mom told me to go to a church.. the name, well, i didnt care much cuz i was playing da com when she told me.. all i know is pastor joshua.. a study has proved that men's brains automatically shuts down when it hears a female voice.. im not bull**** in..

scenario 2
i tell sarah im goin to inti, she tells me she knows 1 guy there who is in the cf.. his name is japtheth (pronounced as japthetfht).. so she gives me his num n givs him mine..

scenario 3
terence, my church mate from my permas days tells me he's going to another college in nilai.. asks me everiday online which church im going to.. he says he goes to what-what center.. i din care much cuz i tot that it would make sense to follow ppl from my college to church..

my mom msgs me that day telling me she called ps joshua n gav him my num
i get a msg from the japthethf guy in scene 2 telling me he's from pastor joshua's church.. big deal.. coincidence..
i follow him to meet ps joshua @ some aunty's house.. n i step into the house, i see terence (scene 3) sitting there, looking @ me! what a coincidence..
coincidence? more than a coincidence..
n it happens that japthethf loves DC*B too.. he's going gaga about everything glorious(on my imeem)
happy days are forcasted

n it seems wherever i go people always say that i look familiar..
when i moved to sg.. my whole net said that i look like so n so, n say that i look like 2 other erics on my church blended together n that i look like some superstars bro.. whatever..

that day after CF meeting, i was chatting wit some freshmen from johor..
they say i look familiar..
an indian gurl frm my class told me juz now that i look familiar
a chinese gurl from SABAH says i look familiar.. n asks me whether ive stayed there or smthn..
wierdness...

n law is tough.. i wanted to scan 1 note of my particular lect.. if u guys c me in person remember to ask to c those notes..
lets juz say that he likes to draw out his lecture notes.. haha.. if only i had a scanner..

niway.. studying law is crazy.. actually its supposed to be reading law.. cuz thats wat its about.. reading law.. n interpreting it.. 1 step 4 eric in law, 1 step backwards 4 mankind..

n im spending time in the library too.. :
i noe! its scary.. i havent spent so much tim ein the library all my life.. i cant imagine myslef studying law.. but i have the interest so i hope n pray that i have the fire to carry on..

to everybody: think b4 u take law!

n im blogging in da library..

~smile!~

oh! n i hav frens here.. :0

2007-05-06T22:46:00.000+08:00

yup.. 1st day @ inti.. i had like 3 hrs of sleep last nite.. shutdown @ 230am
then packed some stuff till 3smthn
but when i finally tried to sleep, i couldnt sleep..i think i only slept around 4am
then woke @ 7++.. Zzz..
then terence kept on msging me on the car when i was trying to sleep..
reach inti, then chu showed up wit a bunch of goons n patiently waited 4 me to get my room key.. i appreciate it, really..

n my roommate hasnt checked in yet.. and tommorrow is the 1st day of class..
so i have a twin sharing room to myself..

okay.. gtg now.. thx to chu 4 letting me use his laptop..

n XXX (not chu) was peeking @ girls juz now from the room we are in.. but i didnt look..

it is finished

2007-05-05T22:46:00.000+08:00

yup.. my stay in sg is temporarily terminated.. because, im going to inti nilai 2morrow.. to study lo..

aniway, todays SAT was great.. one of the reasons i blogged is so that i can write essays.. i havent picked up the pen from dec until recently to prepare for the SAT.. n the best way to prepare for essay writing is blogging!..

aniway, thx God everything was smooth today, didnt get lost, got there just on time, almost woke up late.. (745 muz be there i woke up 7).. then had a smooth essay writing, i had a lot of energy n enthu to go ahead with the test(4 hours le)..

n i actually slept @ 11 ++ last nite.. cuz i needed the energy, n also cuz my dad was watching nba playoff replay.. mebbe to make sure i dont use the com till 2 am, yet im gonna do so for the last time today!

im quite confident with the SAT, hope that i can get into SMU.. i mean, 1200 applications for 83 spots.. requirement: AAA in alevels.. my AUSMAT TER: 73.. n no A's n i failed 2 subjects.. if i get in its a miracle.. those who are gonna study in uni will definitely understand the odds...

You make everything glorious.. this song is so stuck in my head.. which is good, juz that my voice distorts the original harmonic melody of the song..

oh.. n im very confident with my essay today.. in sec school i was never ever satisfied with my essays.. but yet im quite satisfied with this essay.. maybe my standard has dropped? (i wont be surprised)

ok.. about stuff that are less depressing:
tyzus got hell today.. remember my prev post about chelsea? hes the only chelsea fan in my church.. so.. he gets everything.. the moment we all got on the bus.. CHELSEA lose, CHELSEA LOWZY.. haha.. poor guy.. i will miss him the most cuz i cant bully the chelsea fan animore.. last time would be arsenal-manu fan shouting match.. now is the chelski gangbang.. (not dirty)

n jason tan

yup.. the pix say it all.. ahtan was selected to represent the guys in a fear factor competition in EDGE while wearing a spider man mask..
haha.. n he freaked out.. lol.. no details here.. after all, it was fear factor n it was elvin.. im tempted to post his pix again, but no!.. not yet..

ok.. then it was quite normal after that.. until veronica n qian hui offered to buy bubble tea.. haha.. jonathan n i were mixing up orders.. then when they came back (finally) i told veron i was takin mango altho i ordered mocha.. n she juz gav me.. but qian hui was more alert.. she asked "u ordered mango meh?"oh.. n thx jon 4 spending me bubble tea juz now.. if we happen to go ramlee ill try to remember to return da favor!
heaven~~

bow down n worship me 4 i have the secret directory to all yummi-licious ramleeee sites..

oh.. n i might not be able to cath u all online.. cuz off the different time zone.. n also cuz i dun have private pc.. so have to go lanshop..

oh.. n special thx to all my regionf pals.. its been gr8 knowing u guys.. i realli hope to come back soon so that we can gel together even more.. n thx 4 helping me adapt to sg..
n yes.. i will miss u guys.. esp tyzus.. CHELSEA.. OWNING!! XDXDXDXDXDXD

Sleep..

2007-05-03T23:52:00.000+08:00

Sleep actually occurs instantaneously, though one may receive clues signaling it's onset for several minutes before one falls asleep.

aniway.. im not gonna talk about sleep or dreams or wateva.. i just need something to type 1st before i go on non stop..

well.. i have to pack my bags tommorow.. had farewell dinner with elvin esther weisiang ahtan charis jadon caleb wait.. there was 8 ppl.. oh! n me..
svensen's was great.. for once food arrived looking like what it was pictured in the menu.. u would expect ang moh food chains like mc donalds or kfc to be decent enough unlike local food that only makes the menu look tasty.. but noooo, u end up with a small fillet o fish or a teeny weenie drumstick.. ish!

i hate the rain.. i guess i had no mood to blog because the rain drowned my spirit..

im 1 full day away from the sat.. to think that all along elvin thought that i had to FAIL my SAT to get into sg uni.. maybe he tought the SAT was for entrance to malaysian uni.. lol.. im tempted to put elvins picture but i wont.. for now.. maybe after i hide in malaysia so he cant strangle me..

i find that there was a lot of stuff i should have done but now its too late..

ok.. i admit.. i actually found a pix of elvin.. but my concience held me back.. sooo noo.. ur not it dis time..

im really bored tonite.. maybe nba live 07..

Squirrels

2007-05-03T02:17:00.000+08:00

yup.. dis is wat i was watchin juz now b4 i posted.. enjoy...

aniways.. my life is getting kinda stale, n boring, n mundane..
maybe its the rain
or the niggling fact in the back of my head that i know that i have to leave sg this saturday..
sigh

well.. what ive done today is that ive signed up 4 the web browser game travian
yes, all u bored people out there embrace me n yell amen..
aniway.. im in server 1, @ the south east side... drop a note or something if u wanna join or ur currently playing..

yes.. n i think ill go watch man u get kicked.. haha..

theres not much to say la.. thus my lack of words..
i havent packed my bags yet.. gonna do so on thursday nite/ friday afternoon/night depending on my schedule..
maybe dinner on thursday nite, bet on fri is confirmed, movie outing after net(friday nite) 12 hours before my SAT.. hmm.. tempting to tempt..

i think ill go watch 1st half of the match.. not sleepy yet.. GOD! dunno how im gonna wake in inti.. my waking time is 10am..

nite..

Zzz

2007-04-29T21:04:00.000+08:00

yawn.. its 9pm n im sleepy.. oh no!.. but www was tiring la.. den din slp enough last night.. so now im really tired.. counting down to my last wk in sg..
theres this deja vu sense of my last few years..
not preparing when im supposed to..
my bedroom is cluttered..
my shoes arent washed..
my bag aint packed 4 the great exiled exodus back to malaysia, where mamaking runs free
the SAT is slipping from my mind although thats like the most important thing (not a gd sign)

10.55
juz kena scold by parents because SAT is next week n im still plying bejewelled with amelia again..
now waiting for arsenal to whoop ass..

1am
gr8 to watch arsenal win again.. :)
nite.. the bed is beckoning..

i juz realized i havent bathed since i came back form wild wild wet.. n that is not a bath!

2007-04-29T02:06:00.000+08:00

let my words be few
my back still burns..
back to the old routine..

It takes a supercomputer to mimic a mouse brain.. or my cheeks are burning..

2007-04-28T21:32:00.000+08:00

picked this up from bbc..

whoa.. today went to wide wild web.. or wild wild wet.. yup.. had a lot of fun, lunch @ a subsidized price..
the bus came late.. so got there late.. thank god it rained in the early morning so it was cloudy n cool there.. had a lot of fun with the rides.. n also got really sunburnt.. my skin is burning now.. my back, arms n face n shoulders are red n burning..
n i woke up dis morning with my left arm having spasms or something.. Zzz.. i had the injury last week and it subsided after one day.. sigh.. cant move my arm properly..

friday night went to net.. n had an impromptu movie outing with elvin, 2 esthers, jon, joash, ahtan,weisiang, n esther tans friend.. sry.. didnt catch the name.. im not a big fan of korean stuff.. esp movies that u have to read the subtitles..

aniway.. i didnt regret watching it (n paying $8.50)
cuz da girl was hot.. Wooooootts... _/_
actually it was v funny.. everybody who reads this sould go download the torrent or go buy pirated dvd.. malaysia, truly asia..

then we went to mc'd 4 supper.. i had a meaningful chat with the supervisor-guy there.. those who went there would know about it.. a hint* my SECRET fish fantasy..

argh.. my cheeks are burning..

i think i ha dsomething else to post but i 4got it..
n oh.. im going back to malaysia 2 study.. hope to be back in sg 2 study lo in smu lo... hope is a v powerful thing..
n im really sick n tired of telling everybody where im going n explaining to them whether ill be going back to sg to study or not.. ish.. i like repeat it hundreds of times.. n im not exaggerating..

the night is still young..

a day in jB

2007-04-26T22:59:00.001+08:00

yup.. today i went back to jb to buy some clothes.. yippie..
when i reach cs n walk in front of mc'd, i hear my name being shouted out..
and no, mc'd is not launching a new ad campaign with a new character called eric.. it was just tom..
big coincidence, considering that where he was going to was where i wanted to go.. so we shared a cab with him n his friend.. then ended spending the whole morning fragging people..
then started shopping @ 2.30 pm..
bought 2 long sleeve tees , 2 tees n 2 bermudas
so how many shirts have i bought?
oh, n 3 pairs of socks.. considering that soldiers in europe lost their toes to frostbite in ww2, socks are important!

but the sad thing is...
i 4got to get extra undies.. yup the trick of surviving away from home is to build a fort of undies..
na.. actually its so that u wont have to patronize the washing machine everyweek..
dont worry.. im hygienic, just lazy.. and im still on the lookout for a pair of pants/jeans..

n those of u who have travelled into singapore during rush hour, i know how it feels now..
the good thing was that there happened to be a lane @ the checkpoint that had nobody in line, so i got cleared in like 15 secs.. then reach the yellow maze that causes u to get disorientated n bam! straight into the metal detection thingy.. no wonder they can always catch u if u smuggle things.. its all in the maze!

aniway.. as i approached the really long queue, and i mean reaalllyy long, the officer opened the third lane, n i whizzed into it..
so really thx god because he saved me a lot of travel time.. u dont want to end up @ a bottleneck where people crawl across customs...
then the bus i took came in like 5 mins.. a record.. n the bus was pretty empty, because most of the people @ customs were factory workers, i think.. so din have to squeeze with other people in the bus..

sigh.. 9 days to the exam..

shopping..

2007-04-25T22:42:00.000+08:00

in my prev post somewhere back, i said im going shopping.. now im going shopping!
the plan for thursday(tomorrow) is that i go to city square (jb), meet amelia @ 11am, den go all the way back to orchard to get her boyfriend a wallet, and some clothes for me.. then worse case scenario: i escort her back to jb 1st before going home.. Zzz.. long day.. or in the case where she cant make it, i'll just go to a few places in jb to get my clothes..

a paradox
my malaysian freinds tell me to go shop in singapore because there is more variety n its cheaper
yet my sg friends tell me to go back malaysia buy because its cheaper in malaysia.. n both me n my sis have friends telling us that our clothes and shoes are nice..

eric's enigma:
how do you unite fans of arsenal, man utd n liverpool?
~~~~~
~~~
~
chelsea!
~
~~~
~~~~~

oh.. n i had 2 winamp programs running @ the same time.. lol.. but no sound from the second winamp because both winamps were muted but i only unmuted one.. somehow after my mom or sis use the computer, some weird stuff always happens.. somehow the volume will be muted after they use the com.. weird.. must be the alignment of the stars again.. freaky..
now im playin bejeweled wit amelia.. lol.. long time never play it d.. yet can face-off on msn..

boring la now.. still waiting 4 bejeweled to load because amelia dc'd just now..

waa.. now is 12.30 am.. play until @.@ edi.. and im not exaggerating..

queen elizabeth II is a gunner..

2007-04-25T17:00:00.000+08:00

yup.. she's an arsenal fan! yay..
the team was invited to buckingham palace cuz de queen pang-seh'd them..
n they are 'the first football club to be invited to a reception at the royal residence'

David Crowder Band – Everything Glorious lyrics

The day is brighter here with You
The night is lighter than it's hue
Would lead me to believe
Which leads me to believe

(chorus)
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
You make everything glorious
And I am Yours
What does that make me?

My eyes are small but they have seen
the beauty of enormous things
Which leads me to believe
there's light enough to see that

(bridge)
From glory to glory
You are glorious You are glorious
From glory to glory
You are glorious. You are glorious
Which leads me to believe
why I can believe that

From glory to glory From glory to glory
You are glorious. You are glorious.
You are glorious. You are glorious.

i dont know why i like to post lyrics.. maybe to share with u guys the songs i love.. maybe to pass time n flood my blog.. or to make a statement.. i dont know for sure though..

sigh..

2007-04-23T00:59:00.001+08:00

wow.. its been 6 mnths in sg.. i think
what ive accomplished so far..
got 2 know a big group of ppl from church.. there a really great bunch..
slim down a bit n get a tan because i have nothing else to do but play basketball
ext of above point, learnt how to lay up n learn to play soccer also
got to know the mrt bus routes around my area/ city area..
learn a lot of new songs in church.. haha..
cut down my tv time.. now i watch tv like less than once per day.. only shows i watch are mythbusters n prison break, all on thursday.. weekends sometimes watch telley a bit..
use a lot of the pc tho..
ive lost my maths and science knowledge.. become like caveman edi.. thats what happens to u when u dont go to school 4 5 months
upset my circadian rhythm
find out that the chicken @ kfc cannot eat.. n dat sgporeans like da cheese from kfc.. personally, im not eating dinner/snack plates in sg again..
im halfway through on my prep 4 da sat.. the exam that i must take to get into smu..

sigh.. juz when im gettin used to life in sg, hafta move again.. yea yea.. i noe i owayz wanted to study as far away from home as possible, but staying in sg wont be that bad too.. guess this is called maturity.. come to think of it, ive been on da move most of my life..
birth in england, spend tot years moving around, england > malaysia > libya > malaysia
then spend early years (kindie - p4) in kl
p5 - pre uni in jb
uni - ?? in sg
the moves when i was younger werent that big an impact, but my move from jb, just when everything was starting to pick up kinda gutted me, but i guess spending different stages of my life here n there lets me learn to adapt.. n also not stick to the same people every time..

on a more positive note, going back to malaysia means going to the blessed land of the mamak..
n i get to study.. n maybe even do some networking with potential lawyers.. n i had a lot of great moments in sg.. guess i would miss the guys when i leave.. oh no.. 2 weeks left.... time is ticking..

Jesus To The World (this beautiful republic) [track 7 on imeem]

Sometimes it's hard to see You, but I see Your people
Sometimes it's hard to hear You, but I heard Your preachers
My proof is in the way, the way that they shine
That's how I know that

The sun is coming down
I get the feeling that I'm not home yet
Yeah, it's Your people
They're Jesus to the world

When it was hard to see You, they gave me another chance - like You
When it was hard to hear You, I could hear them speak Your words
My proof is in the way, the way that they shine
That's how I know that

It's always the way, the way I know

oh, n i 4got to add last nite..

enjoyed playing lag-pong wit eden, weisiang n ahtan during the afternoon.. haha.. too bad we didnt record it..

happy birthday matt

2007-04-19T01:03:00.000+08:00

ok.. so today went to marina bay to eat steamboat.. was really fun, n steamy, n funni..
haha.. jonathan ang beats hei wai in eating icecream.. jon can tackle 2 while hw hasnt finished 1.. lol.. but dec's da best, throwin da icecream away.. :p

i dunno y i tot bout dis.. mars attacks.. haha.. i guess chu's tryin to be an ambassador wit death rays.. for $500 per human..
hmmm, class, lets take a moment n ponder about dis pix.. wat does it say to u? gore, fiction, death rays? to me its aggression.. haha.. wateva.. muz be da positionin of da stars 2nite dat is makin me kinda off my mind..

no pork, no lard, no special curry..

food for thought:
Chauvinistic about our human need to wake by day and sleep by night, we come to associate night dwellers with people up to no good, people who have the jump on the rest of us amd are defying nature, defying their circadian rhythms.

Although we are accustomed to mastering our world by day, in the night we become vulnerable as prey.

Though we are at the top of the food chain, if we had to live alone in the rain forest, say, and protect ourselves from roaming predators, we would live partly in terror, as our ancestors did. Our sense of of safety depends on predictability, so anything living outside the usual rules we suspect to be an outlaw.

* chauvinism is extreme and unreasoning partisanship on behalf of a group to which one belongs, especially when the partisanship includes malice and hatred towards a rival group.
** circadian rhythms are patterns of daily change within one's body that are determined by the time of day or night

take time to check out da songs..

2007-04-18T00:29:00.000+08:00

checkout deliver me n obsession.. they are veri meaningful songs..

2007-04-17T21:49:00.000+08:00

haha.. neva expected dis in a guys blog?
well, i did go shopping today.. n im considerin goin shoppin round da endofdamonth..
today, went to simlim square to buy com parts.. i wish i could buy ram or smthn so i can play c&c3 completely but im satisfied wit de new lazer mouse, de webcam n de pendrive.. yes! im 19 n i got my 1st pendrive..
to all technophobes, de com aint scary if u read da instruction manual..

about da 2nd part, i think i hafta get some extra shirts n a few shorts cuz im gonna study in inti n i dun wanna visit da washin machine everiwk.. :p
in defense regardin to da above statement, im a guy..

n i received dis email ystrday frm nellie..
after paraphrasing:

apparently boiling da msg wit da noodles is toxic, so da best way to cook is as follows
1. boil the noodles in a pot with water.
2. once the noodles is cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax.
3. boil another pot of water till boiling and put the noodles into the hot boiling water and then shut the fire.

4. only at this stage when the fire is off, and while the water is very
hot, put the ingredients (think fishballs etc?) with the powder into the water, to make
noodle soup.
5. however, if you need dry noodles, take out the noodles n add the
ingredient with the powder and toss it to get dry noodles.

roti lovers plz leave comments..

de big question...

2007-04-15T21:36:00.000+08:00

ok.. so da big question dat ive been plagued, not whether i hav gf.. (sry to dissapoint)
de question is... sg or malaysia better?????? (lame intro, i know)

oh.. n if u told me i would be stayin in sg anitime last yr, i would hav laughed @ u..
n those of u who know me would know dat i never wanted to study in sg.. yet know im prayin to get accepted here.. lol.. wierd i noe, esp since dis is comin frm 1 guy who couldnt wait to leave home.. yet im begginin 2 get used to livin in sg.. n da pay here is so good.. esp 4 lawyers..

so y is eric wanting to study law in sg?
it all 1st started when i went to visit smu(singapore management uni) reluctantly.. when i reached there, i was WOAH! cuz it isnt a uni wit a campus.. its cool office blocks in da middle of da city.. den i heard dat im applyin 4 da FIRST batch of law students.. then my past comes to my mind..
i joined omega, a new school (1st yr as a school) n learnt alot from it i.e public speakin skills, being a leader, n gettin to mix wit ah bengs.. haha.. makes me think of chern fei etc.. :p
den i joined sunway, a new college (oso 1st yr in business) n i got to noe a lot of gr8 ppl.. n learnt a lot of *social skills*
so now im applyin 4 a NEW course.. n i feel dat im gonna learn a lot n br8k a lot of new ground...
another reason is simple-- GOD, U BROUGHT ME INTO SG (realli).. NOW U WANT ME TO GO BACK TO MAS TO STUDY?? ZZZ...

hmmm.. veri tough question..
point a, sg has gr8 public transport system...
u dun nid a car to get around unless u got a fam to lug around..
mas nid car aniwhere u wanna go, or a fren dat has a car...
n taxis in malaysia cut ur throat sial.. in sg 4 ppl share cab stop 4 diff places oso go by mater, no extra charge...

but malaysia's food is still da best la, imho..
i miss mamak!!!!! n sgpores wanton's hav thick skin.. i mean realli thick.. n my fren can say dat its nice summore.. Zzz..
malaysia's wan is membrane thin skin n burstin wit filling.. dat day went back malaysia eat wanton mee realli satisfied da cravings...
(n i del'd calebs pix cuz he doesnt like it..)

i remembered a v imp point.. water..
i remember shane laughin @ me when i told him da water tastes wierd.. Zzz.. he says dat im privileged 2 drik lee quan yew's urine.. Zzz
2 highlight da diff of water in sg, i was in church dat day..
'eh bro, where can i get a drink of water?'
'de toilet la..'
de sad fact is dat sg's tap water is so clean u can drink out of da tap..
compared to malaysia.. well.. wat else is there to say??

2007-04-15T00:04:00.000+08:00

yay.. my 1st award in sg.. not tryin to brag tho.. to god be the glory.. oh, 4 the glory of it all..
thx esther! haha

one of my fav songs..i juz find it soo meaningful..

2007-04-14T22:10:00.000+08:00

Obsession

What can I do with my obsession?
With the things I cannot see
Is there madness in my being?
Is it wind that blows the trees?
Sometimes you're further than the moon
Sometimes you're closer than my skin
And you surround me like a winter fog
You've come and burned me with a kiss

And my heart burns for you
And my heart burns

And I'm so filthy with my sin
I carry pride like a disease
You know I'm stubborn God and I'm longing
to be close
You burn me deeper than I know
I feel lonely without hope
I feel desperate without vision
You wrap around me like a winter coat
You come and free me like a bird

And my heart burns for you
And my heart burns for you

actually im juz lazy to write bout anithin else.. except thx god 4 helpin us win da captains ball chmp..

im startin anew!

2007-04-14T00:20:00.000+08:00
